Abstract

The project is on the design and development of Fire Figthing Machine. The report covers mostly on the first phase of the machine development which from the conceptual design to the detail design and discussion on prototypes produced. Fire Fighting Machine is a remotely controlled machine consists of a mobile and rigid chassis that is equipped with functional equipment for fire fighting tasks. It carries camera, sensors, communication equipment, fire fighting equipment and other loads in order to control fire. The machine is wirelessly controlled via mobile computer. The nozzle of the machine can directed at different angle and can be elevated in order to control fire at different height. One of the great importance of the development of the Fire Fighting Machine is it can reduce the risks faced by fire fighters in performing their duties. This is due to the fact to the current fire fighting techniques require fire fighters to intervene in hazardous conditions. Working at very high temperature, dusty, low humidity, dangerous and others are among usual working conditions associated with fire fighting. Therefore, effective use of the machine can avoid direct contact of human with poisonous, flammable, explosive gases and chemicals, as well as radioactive or other hazardous materials that may have immediate or long-term effects on health.
